[Closed] 29er wheel options help

Jra traildog are £390 a pair. 8 week build time according to the site though

Oh man BPW booked for 26th, so really need in stock options, thanks though doc

There are options on fitwheels.eu. I ordered my dtswiss rims with 240/350 hubs last year from them and they were built to order and better price than I could find anywhere else.

mac83 cheers, was thinking uk only as the ballache of importing. How long did they take?

My lbs have hunt fortus in stock, not sure if they fit lightweight though! Not something I care about.
I’m getting a dt swiss wheel built and I think dt stock is due in this week so that may open up a few options? I would message some wheel builders and see if/what they can do for that budget

I don't know if there's any stock around, but I'm very impressed with the Stan's Flow Mk3 Wheelset I bought just over a year ago.

Taken plenty of abuse so far with no issues.

Okay hand built an option- I’ll see what I can find. Recommendations welcome as well.
Thanks

I just bought some Mavic crossmax from cyclestore. No stock of wheel sets but you could buy front and back individually for the same price....

Jam-bo cheers, are they any good, or too early to tell?

Round, roll well. Went up tubeless easy. Wider (25 internal) than my old crossmax but not crazy wide

The Hope Fortus 30 is the one with a lot of extra material in it and designed to take maximum abuse. Probably a fair chunk heavier than similar sized alternatives.

I'd swerve them for anything other than a DH bike.

If you were considering a mullet setup, I've got a nearly new set of Hunt enduro wide I don't use anymore (27.5 rear, 29er front)?

I’ve got a spare 29er hint rear that wants a new free hub, with johnw mullet set you could get a full pair!

Bit like wheel-Lego this!

Fortus 30 are super heavy DH rims. Fortus 35 are less heavy, but you may not want or nee the extra width, and they're not light either.

Given my experience with their new BBs, I'd avoid anything Nukeproof with their fancy bearings in it.

Ah okay not sure about how the mullet would be, wheels needed are boost and xd sram free hub.

Have you looked at silt?

Two thousand four hundred and thirty five grams!!! 😲

No worries, if you get stuck and decide to give it a go, give me a shout (they are boost and XD freehub).

Thanks for the heads up about the fortus 30!

It turns put the fortus 35 in 29er is a full 250g lighter for the wheels at, that's mad.

I had a set of 30's on order I have asked for 35's hopefully its not too late to change it.

Crank Brothers Synthesis wheels?

Got a set of the emtb ones on my ebike and really rate them!

Thanks for the input, the lovely person I was buying the rest of the bike from has chucked in some awesome wheels for an extra five hundred notes. They are the poshest wheels Ive ever owned.
